Mag-log inSienna's POV
I decided not to go home right away. The warm feeling after seeing that book cover was still filling my chest, and somehow I wanted to share it with someone who truly understood how long and exhausting the process of writing my first book had been. And for some reason, the first person who came to mind was Liliana.Liliana had always been the place I returned to whenever I needed encouragement, or simply somewhere to talk without fearing judgment. She might be a firm, buNoah's POVAs soon as I stepped outside I took a deep breath. The morning air felt fresh. My mind was not calm at all.I put on my helmet. I got on my bike. The engine. It made me feel excited.I closed my eyes for a moment. I thought about Rachel, the promise I made to her all the training I did and the pain I felt. Today I would show her what I can do.I opened my eyes. I started riding my bike without waiting. There was no going now.The sound of engines was loud as I entered the racing area. I could smell the asphalt, gasoline and heat.This place was full of energy. People were everywhere cheering and shouting. The other racers were already ready.I stopped my bike. Took off my helmet.

Noah's POV Today is finally here.I stood in front of the mirror taking a breath as I adjusted my jacket. My helmet was already in my hand. My gloves were resting on the table.My heart was beating faster than usual. Not because I was afraid. Because this was something I had to win. One of the things I had promised Noah had to do.I looked at myself in the mirror. There were still bruises on the corner of my face and my body felt tired. My eyes were full of determination.I said to myself. "I have to win."Without waiting longer I stepped out of my room and headed downstairs. Soon as I reached the living room I saw Mom already standing there as if she had been waiting for Noah.My steps slowed slightly."NOAH!" I Looked at mommy.."Where are you going now?" she asked, her voice calm but filled with suspicion.I let out a breath. "I am going out for
Sienna's POVI looked at Liam closely. "Including Noah.”It was quiet between us for a moment. Liam did not say anything for a second.Then he spoke again. "Our job now is not to hold Noah back, " he said in a soft voice.I frowned. "Then what is our job?”Liam said, "To give Noah a chance.”I could not believe what I was hearing. "A chance?" Liam added, "Time.”I shook my head quickly. "Time for what? To move away from us?”My voice got louder again. "Our job as Noah's parents is to guide him and not let him get lost.”Liam looked at me intently. "I am not letting Noah get lost.”His voice was still calm. It was firmer now. "I am making sure Noah does not feel alone.”I stopped talking.Liam kept talking, "You are worried. I know that.”He looked at me with eyes. "That is normal.”I lowered my head a lit
Sienna's POV I stood in the living room, looking at the stairs where Noah had gone just a few seconds ago.The noise of his steps was gone now. His room door must be closed. And weirdly that only made the tightness in my chest more bad .“Liam this isn’t good.” My voice was low but full of weight.I did not turn back but I knew he was still there behind me.“What isn’t right?” he asked calmly.I turned to face him immediately. “All of this.”My hands closed up without me seeing it. “The way he acts. The way we let him.”I stared right into Liam’s eyes. “You always pick his side”Liam took a long breath. “I ain't on his side Sienna.”"Then what?" I said fast. My voice began to go up again."You keep saying 'just let it go' 'he will tell us' 'give him some time,' how long, Liam?"I stepped closer. “Can’t you see he’s changed?”
Sienna's POV It was really late at night when I finally heard the front door open.I was sitting in the living room. I stood up right away when I heard it.My heart was racing with a mix of relief and anger.I knew those footsteps well. "Noah." He walked in looking really tired. His hair was a bit messy. He seemed completely exhausted.None of that made me feel any better about what I had been feeling all day.I walked up to him."Where have you been?" I asked him, my voice shaking."Why did you just take off like that?"Noah did not say anything for a moment, he just looked at me. "Can you please just listen to what I have to say l, Mom?"His voice was really calm. He was not arguing with me.For some reason that just made me even more upset. "An explanation?" Then I laughed, but it was not a
Sienna’s POVI carried the tray carefully with a bowl of food, a glass of milk and some fruit on it. My hands were shaking a little. I tried to stay calm.I had been thinking about a lot of things. I was wondering if I was too harsh with Noah night. Maybe I should have talked to him gently. Maybe I should have listened to him more.I stood in front of his door took a breath and then unlocked it.The door opened slowly. "Noah Mommy brought-" My words stopped.The room was empty.I froze at the doorway my eyes looking around the room. I saw the bed, the desk, the chair.. Noah was not there.
